Grapefruit Kush
Grapefruit Kush
Also known as: Grape Fruit Kush
Overview
Grapefruit Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing BC Kush and Grapefruit, developed by Next Generation Seed Company in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This strain is indica-dominant with a 70:30 indica/sativa ratio, representing one of the classic old-school Afghani Kush strains. With THC levels reaching as high as 22%, it is considered a moderately potent strain that may be tolerable for some inexperienced users given the right dosage. The strain features rich flavors and produces large buds with fruity hash-flavored resins containing 19% THC and 1.1% CBD.
Grapefruit Kush has a unique appearance with varying shades of pastel purples and blues amid light green flowers and amber pistils, featuring fluffy and dense buds with a generous blanket of white trichomes and orange pistils woven throughout. The strain exhibits a strong citrus aroma primarily reminiscent of grapefruits, offering a delightful flavor that mirrors its aroma with pronounced citrus taste resembling tart and tangy ripe grapefruits. It reminds users of the sweet and citrusy flavors of actual grapefruit, though with some hash and cream aftertaste. This versatile strain thrives when grown as a large plant or in Sea of Green method, being hardy and undemanding to grow, pleasing both commercial growers and making novices look like pros.

Growing Information
Indoor flowering time is 50-55 days (7-8 weeks), while outdoor harvest occurs in early October. Indoor yields are approximately 16-20 ounces per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce 24+ ounces per plant. This strain is great for novice growers, has a relatively short flowering period and offers promising yields. The strain can be cultivated indoors or outdoors and thrives in greenhouse environments, being versatile and getting results from Sea of Green indoors to robust large plants outdoors. For indoor growing, it requires replicating a steady environment similar to Mediterranean climate. Training techniques like topping, Screen of Green (ScrOG), and Low-stress training (LST) are recommended to promote bud production and increase yields.
